S3E3 They Don't Want To See You Win

In this episode of The Layover, we dive into a tough truth of entrepreneurship and leadership: not everyone is rooting for you. People are often quick to critique when you stumble, but they go silent when you succeed. Why is that?We break down the psychology behind why some people resist celebrating others’ wins—jealousy, comparison, scarcity mindset—and explore how this affects entrepreneurs emotionally and professionally. More importantly, we talk about how to flip the script: protecting your mindset, finding the people who genuinely support you, and learning to celebrate yourself unapologetically.At the end of the day, the absence of applause doesn’t make your success any less real. Your journey is for you, not for the critics.✅ Check out The Layover YouTube channel here !
